Hi David,

I bought a C-harmonica to learn playing. It seems not the same sound so I saw on the video that you have a A-harmonica.

Do I need to get one for your studies?

Glad to hear from you, 

Regards Nelly

Welcome to the site Nelly.

Welcome to the site Nelly. There is an intro lesson for those with only the C Harmonica, and it's found here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson. After this lesson, if you decide to continue, you'll need to pick up an A Harmonica (this C Harmonica study will keep you busy for 2-3 months, so there's no hurry). Best wishes on your studies.

C and G

Hi David, I recently bought my first C chromatic harmonica, after some research on the web.

I now have a G harmonica because I wanted to learn a song that was in G.  

Now I note your first lessons are in A.

Thanks for the free month, I intend to make good use of the lessons and carry on into the second month.

Can you help me learn using the C or G harmonica.

By the way I'm 72 years young and a very competent drummer.

Thanks

Chris
